I recently read an article written a few years ago by a former president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I think it applies to America's political dialogue.

He made a plea "to stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight; that we look a little deeper for the good and that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm. I am not asking that all criticism be silenced, growth comes from correction, what I am suggesting is that you turn from negativism that so permeates our society and look for the remarkable good among us" (Gordon B. Hinckley).
